I paid about $2000 per motor with us pulling the engines. That was me bringing the whole engine to him with headers on. He did all dissassembly, changed oil, all filter, plugs, wires, cap, started engine on stand and re-timed. All I had to do was drop it back in when he was done.

I have a 2000 33 Donzi ZX Daytona with 500 efi motors. Owned the boat since new, Regular maintanance and no abuse the motors lasted just over 500 hours. Had a roller lifter go bad in one and damaged the camshaft. I pulled both motors and had rebuilt. by a reputable shop, Cost to rebuild both motors and dyno was right at $10,000. You cannot get a quality rebuild on a 350 chevy for $2000?? The best speed i have seen on GPS was 86. Boat will run in the low to mid 80s depending on conditions. Hope this info helps

DONZITOM 05-20-2012 08:48 PM

My mistake, After read the post again I see where the $2000 was for a top end rebuild, Mine was complet top and bottom.
$2000 would be a fair price for top end rebuild

Yep , nice ride bro . Do you manage to stay out of trouble with it ? :whistle: :lolhit:

1989mach1 04-13-2013 01:42 PM

thanks guys i try to.... its just hard now having a boat that hit 82 last year and not want to just jump on it.... i ended up having a lifter blow apart on me so i didnt get to the top ends in time so this year i will have 1 motor that was fully rebuilt and the outher had a full top end done with head gasgets, springs, lifters and a full valve job. so i should be good to go and maby even pic up a few mph.

If you get to these before something blows up what should a full rebuild cost, assuming you pull the motors out?

offshorexcursion 04-13-2013 10:17 PM

That really depends on what parts the engine builder replaces or what needs to be replaced and what machine work is needed. Probably 4-7k each.

1989mach1 04-14-2013 12:24 PM

be for it brakes a top end will run u around 2-3k and for a full rebuild it would be around 8k the only thing extra that i had to get on the full rebuild was the cam i gess thay usually dont replace those on a rebuild unless u r going to a biger one for more hp
